indefinite. There are repositories out there with several hundred registered

From reading the list: make sure this data is in a sane directory structure
- svn seems to have problems with directories that contain thousands of
files (up to about a hundred is not a problem).

Depends on how many simultaneous accesses you expect to have. If you access
it from the Internet (or VPN) you usually exhaust the bandwidth of the
outside line faster than the CPU-power of the server.
